First up are Fernando Tatis and Cory Sullivan. Fernando “Double Play Superman” Tatis had a big day, going 3-4 with an RBI. Believe it or not, Fernando has played in 88 games and is hitting .252 with 6HR’s and 29RBI’s…thats good for 5th on the team(one ahead of Luis Castillo). Cory Sullivan had a huge day with 2 triples and a RBI. The baseball rule of thumb is you put your speed up top. The Mets have 11 triples out of the leadoff spot. I think Cory earned himself another start(by the Mets means). Good job Tatis and Sullivan.
Last up is Fransisco Rodriguez. Frankie, who had blown two consecutive save chances for the first time since 2004, notched his 25th save in 30 opportunities on Wednesday. Here at TRDMB, we gotta call a spade a spade. Krod’s ERA has gone up to a 3.35 and in 26 games with a runner in scoring position, he sports an ugly 9.72 ERA. Now we all know Krod was going to be an adventure and for most of the first part of the year, he was solid but his numbers are a slight bit worse in the second half. The positive is the batting average for lefties(.180) and righties(.222). Krod needs to improve on this but he gets a MUA for breaking his streak. Good job
Honorable Mentions
David Wright for going 3-5 with 2 runs scored and refusing to join the DL squad
Pedro Feliciano and Brian Stokes for 1.2 innings of scoreless relief
Oliver Perez for magically only giving up 1 run while walking 6 and giving up 6 hits
Gary Sheffield for going 2-3 and a run scored

No offense to the MUAs…but I want to hear about the new Vick news from my fellow Dirty Fans. Personally I’m excited to see the train wreck this will be for the city of Philadelphia.
Here’s the facebook status of my friend Steve (a huge fan of all Philly teams): “Way to ostracize yourself from your fans and the entire league Eagles. I am absolutely stunned.”
And the status of a friend of a friend on facebook (this guy is apparently a long-time Eagles fan): “uhh…i’m no longer an Eagles fan”
Exciting. I can’t wait for the protests.

I’m late, but no not everyone. Vick? Yes. Everyone? No. I won’t go on a rant, but I’m stating a fact.

aw hell no…you just did not sandbag my post lol j/k
I just wanted to know who would be the dumbass team that would sign him. I believe he has served his time and has paid his price to society but man…mcnabb cant buy a break in that town lol. If its not the media cirus with TO, now he got to deal with the media circus with Vick. Its all good baby…let them deal with the circus while they get knocked on their ass by jacobs! GMEN BABY!!

Behind enough to score 3 runs and get 8 baserunners in 5 innings. That 5.40 ERA and 1.60 WHIP were below average, but when your offense scores 12 runs, you’ll win pitching below average.

Now the MUA take over 24 hours to process? Pretty soon you’ll be able to lump this in with the health care reform bill.
